Praise be to Allah.
The jinn are an important realm of created beings whom Allah mentioned
in manyplaces in the Holy Qur'an.One of the most significant of those
passages is that in whichAllah tells us, in Soorat al-Jinn, about the
great wisdom and powers of reasoning with which many of them are
blessed, even though they are different from human beings. They were
astounded when they heard the word of truth and faith and verses from
heaven recited on the lips of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him). So they were sincere towards Allah, may
He beglorified and exalted, and they were sincere towards themselves;
they could not but submit to the truth that they were listening to and
put aside all arrogance and stubbornness, doubts and hesitation. They
took their decision to believe in the Seal of theProphets, who was
foretold by 'Eesa ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary, peace be upon him),
without paying any attention to the specious arguments and doubts of
the polytheists. For the truth cannot be sullied by sinful attempts or
concealed by flawed arguments that are aimed at driving people away
from the main purpose for which Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him) was sent, which was to confirm the message brought by the
noble Messengers who came before him, which was the message of Tawheed
(affirmationof the Oneness of Allah), to spread sublime valuesand
attitudes among thepeople, and to complete the mission of all the
Prophets who came before him, the aim of all of whom was to
bringpeople forth from the worship of other people to the worship of
the Lord of people, from the constraints of this world to the
abundance of the Hereafter, from the injustice of distorted man-made
religions to the justice and mercy of Islam.
Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And (remember) when We sent towards you (Muhammad SAW) Nafran (three
to ten persons) of the jinns, (quietly) listening to the Quran, when
they stood in the presence thereof, they said: "Listen in silence!"
And when it was finished, they returned to their people,as warners.
They said: O our people! Verily! We have heard a Book (this Qur'an)
sent down after Moosa (Moses), confirming what came before it, it
guides to the truth and to a Straight Path (i.e. Islam).
O our people! Respond (with obedience) to Allah's Caller (i.e. Allah's
Messenger Muhammad SAW), and believe in him(i.e. believe in that which
Muhammad SAW has brought from Allah and follow him). He (Allah) will
forgive you of your sins, and will save you from a painful torment
(i.e. Hell-fire) .
And whosoever does notrespond to Allah's Caller, he cannot escape on
earth, and there will be no Awliya' (protectors) for him besides Allah
(from Allah's Punishment). Those are in manifest error"
[al-Ahqaaf 46:29-32].
Prof. Sayyid Qutb (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
These verses speak, as does the present surah (chapter), of the great
surprise felt by the jinn when they first listened to the Qur'an. It
had sucha great effect on their minds, hearts and feelings. They were
filledwith emotion, resulting in their travel in great haste to tell
their people.They report expresses such overflowing emotions. Indeed,
it is stated in an exceptionally fluent, warm, charged and joyful
style. The surprise for them was great and their reaction was only
natural.
"We have heard a wondrous discourse." (Verse 1) The first thing they
realise about the Qur'anic discourse is thatit is unfamiliar and that
it makes the listener wonder. This is how the Qur'an is received by
anyone who listens with an open and positive mind. He will find that
the Qur'an contains intrinsic power, strong appeal and beautiful
rhythms that touch hearts and feelings. It is 'wondrous' indeed, which
tells us that the group of jinn listening to it had refined literary
tastes.
"Giving guidance to what is sagacious." (Verse 2) This is the second
prominent feature of the Qur'an which the jinn immediately felt within
their hearts. That they use the word 'sagacious'to describe it is
particularly significant. Itis true that the Qur'an guides to what is
right and sensible, but the term 'sagacious' also connotes maturity
and wisdom that distinguishes right from wrong. It adds an element of
awareness that naturally guides to the truth and to what is right and
good. It establishes a bond with the source of light and guidance, as
well as harmony with major universal laws. In doing so, the Qur'an
guides to what is sagacious, as indeed it does by providing a code of
living the like of which has never been experienced by any other human
community. Yet this system enabled individuals and communities to
attain sublime standards in personal morality and values as well as in
socialrelations and interactions.
"And we have come to believe in it." (Verse 2) This is the natural and
sound reaction to listening to the Qur'an and understanding its
nature. The surah puts this response to the unbelievers in Makkah he
used to listen to the Qur'an but who would not believe in it. They
even attributed it to the jinn, alleging that the Prophet was a
soothsayer, a poet or a madman, influenced by the jinn. Here we see
thejinn wondering at the Qur'an, profoundly influenced by its
discourse, unable to resist it. We see them able to discern the truth
and submit to it: "We have come to believe in it." They could not turn
away from the truth they clearly felt.
"We shall never associate partners with our Lord." (Verse 2) Theirs,
then, is a case of complete faith, and tainted by any element of
polytheism, delusions or superstitions. It is faith based on
understanding the truth presented by the Qur'an,i.e., the truth of
God's absolute oneness.
End quote from Fi Zilaal al-Qur'an (In the Shade of the Qur'an), 6/3726
This group of jinn were saved when they responded to a voice deep
inside in their hearts, asking them about the reason for refusing to
believe in the Seal of the Prophets, who was sent to complete and
perfect noble characteristics, and to call people to affirm the
oneness of Allah, may He be glorified, and believe in all the
Messengers and Prophets who had come before. Although this voice
sometimes becomes strong when the soul is pure and calmand at other
times it becomes weak when thesoul indulges in worldly distractions,
they passed the test and deserved to be commemorated forever when
Allah mentioned them in the Holy Qur'an.
